The Package - Both Hulk V videocards come in a nicely designed box accompanied with a small but clear and decent manual. The driver CD contains the basics like DirectX, NVIDIA reference based drivers, a few game patches, Powerstrip and a trial version of PowerDVD.

When I looked closely at the box I found a humorous joke on it .. Well, it's a joke when you are a NVIDIA fan, if you still love 3dfx then skip this part. Check it out:

I enlarged a piece of the explosion a bit .. Isn't that Hulk V spaceship blowing up a Voo .. 5500 ? Oh come on  ..  that's funny! reality is that the MX series videocards actually are faster in many tests than the r.i.p. 3dfx Voodoo5 5500.

Furthermore the box of course contains a videocard. When we look closely at the card we'll notice that it is looking closely to NVIDIA's reference design. Component usage seemed to be high quality.

The Dual VGA version is equipped with 5.5ns Samsung SDR memory which is a pretty fast module and guarantees good memory bandwidth for a low-end product, on the other hand the S-VHS output version of the Hulk-V had 6ns memory. The fact that the dual-vga version of the videocard's memory is clocked at 5.5ns means that the memory frequency can be clocked a bit higher compared to standard 6ns memory that is widely used on most MX videocards. The memory is clocked at the standard 166Mhz though. If we do a small calculation that means a memory bandwidth of: (1x128) x 166MHz :8bit = 2656 MB/Sec
